Apexi Catback N1 silencer backpressure/performance question! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I believe the silencer will give more back pressure, but the loudness will still be there. I've listened to a few types of exhausts (HKS, Apex'i, 5 Zigen) both 2.5 inch and 3 inch with silencers. Trust me, it's still kind of loud. In my opinion, i don't think you should get an exhaust for turbo until you have enough money to go turbo. I remember when i first bought my N1 2 1/2 years ago, i was in the phase of believing that one day i will swap in an SR20, but reality hits me and i realized that it's too complicated to have turbo. I don't think it's worth the trouble, especially when my car is daily driven. Be wise in your decision, it'll save you lots of money on the long run. I do LOVE the looks of my N1, though.
